Elias Gonzales, a 36-year-old Hispanic man from Lubbock, Texas, was shot and killed at his home in the 1500 block of 42nd Street on January 1, 2015. The shooting happened early in the morning; his common-law wife, Carla Sifert, heard the shots and saw Gonzales fall, and his young son also witnessed the incident. The shooter was identified as 23-year-old Casey Eby, who admitted he had been looking for Gonzales and fired through the door when he could not get in.

A gun found on Eby was matched to the bullets used in the killing, and Eby confessed to a friend that he had carried out the shooting. The crime deeply affected Gonzales’ family, and his sister Michele Cervantez said the loss has forever changed them.

Does anyone have information about Elias, his family, or the events that night that could add clarity to what happened?
